[QUOTE="SimonCrox, post: 1994526, member: 388174"] Totally agree with above about foot clinic re ulcers. And I would hope that you are seeing someone who is helping about the neuropathic pain. Being somewhat pessimistic, sorry, but foot amputation might leave you with the pain (phantom) still. There are other agents to consider such as duloxetine/amitriptyline, and other opiates and lidocaine patches (sorry if you have already tried these - and I am not suggesting a treatment) as well as addressing any possible Vitamin D, vitamin B12 or thyroid , and optomising glucose control; I would hope that one could make the pains bearable. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
